The AKT2G family is recommended for new applications requiring remote I/O in a PCMM or PDMM KAS application. This article and attachment compares the AKT2G Remote I/O family with the AKT Remote I/O family.
The AKD2G's various feedback options allow for incorporating up to 5 feedback devices into the drive. Occasionally the feedback is not used for servo AXIS control (a position used as a direct command or feedback to a servo axis) but used as an…
RS-422 drivers, receivers are unidirectional. RS-485 driver, receivers are set so that the drive can tri-state and be in parallel with the receive lines. You can think of it like RS-485 IC can set as driver or receiver by input pin pulled high…
This PowerPoint presentation explains the differences between different types of servo motor feedback devices, including:
The differences between absolute and incremental devices.
The differences between analog and digital devices.
Typical…
When configuring the S700 or S300, homing with an absolute encoder you will need to use ROFFSABS. ROFFSABS provides the necessary offset when physically homing. Single Turn Absolute is absolute to 1 rotation of the motor. To home the drive with an…
On a rotary application with absolute multi-turn feedback, it's possible to run over the feedback unwind. If the machine has a non-binary gear ration (e.g. 3:1), its period is not an integer divisor of the encoder period, allowing the position to not…
Following are the instructions for adding the Encoder 802-004, which is the 0.25" SHAFT, 500 LINE ENCODER for stepper motors. Attached is the original PDF.
NOTE: S3 & S4 motors require cover mod. for cable

This application note covers Homing Mode 17 in the AKD drive, how it works, and how to use it.
It is intended for use with AKD-P Motion Tasking drives and not with consideration for methods within KAS and the PCMM/PDMM platforms. Homing methods in…
BiSS-C is a digital encoder protocol that permits a wide range of possible formats. The AKD supports the most common BiSS-C format, and can only guarantee support for the encoders listed in "Documented BiSS-C Encoders". To determine if a BiSS-C…
